Great start.
Is Greengrass in any way related to Daphne? Is Harry's soul stored in the diary? What evil is stirring - Voldemort... or Harry?
What will the boy learn about dead legends and the war? What forgotten knowledge will he find?
Was Harry DADA-teacher at some point?
The only thing is the year it's set in; with a wizard's life-span of 150-200 years, 200 years (2200) is not enough for Harry to have been forgotten. Even if he died early (somewhat contridicted by the "genious" expressed in the diary), some of his friends and schoolmates should have died just a few dacades before. I would think your story would be more beliveable if it was set somewhere between 2400-2600 (assuming you're not going to venture too much into the Muggle-world... still, muggle inventions have also somewhat stagnated).
Keep up the good work, and update soon.

Arctarus is indeed related to Daphne, being her great-great-grandson.
As for Harry's soul...I guess you'll have to kind out :p I won't say "no" and i won't say "yes"...all I'll say is "kind of". Lol.
See chapter 2 about what hes been learning from the diary.
Harry was the DAD teacher after Voldemorts downfall, for about 4 years.
I agree about the year, but i didn't want to put it too far into the future, 'cos that would be a little wacky. I still wanted things to be reasonably recognisable. So, doing as JKR does, I have come up with a reasonable explanation for this: there was a cover-up. Why? You'll find out.
Thanks for the review.
